Inflammation seems to be an enemy that needs to be suppressed all the time and at all costs. At least when we look at a TV commercial that is the impression we get. But is it all that bad?


Inflammation is in fact our innate defense mechanism that protects our body from outside invaders. In fact without inflammation injuries and infections would not heal. Cats, dogs and other animals also have it. It protects our body!

So why is it then regarded as enemy? To me the answer is simple: inflammation comes with pain, and we want to get rid of pain as soon as possible. But the price to pay is that the healing of tissue injuries (the reason behind pain) will not take place. If inflammation is continuously suppressed, the injured tissues will remain in their injured state indefinitely. That is exactly why certain topical creams and other treatments need to repeated endlessly.

The solution is to support inflammation so that it can take its course. It may take some time and effort, but at the end original cell structure and function restored and no more treatments are required (unless another injury triggers it).

I am not suggesting that it is the solution for every case, but I believe that in case of injuries of muscles, tendons, ligaments, rhumatoid arthritis it is possible to restore injured tissues with repeated treatments.
